New cub purchase —hydraulic questions

[Mcdaniel2903]

So I purchased my first cub so i am new to the cub family. It does not have hydraulics and I have seen where some have added hydraulics to theirs and it did not seem that difficult. My question is if there is a place online they sells the parts to add this or do you have to search eBay and places like that to pick them up. I was hoping I could find one somewhere were everything was together but I could not find anyplace like that on the internet Was just wondering. Thanks for any help. It is 48 or 49 model the guy thinks but the tag is missing and I have not had time to investigate further to find out what model it actually is but he was confident it was a 48 or 49.

It looks like JP Tractor Salvage offers a complete setup.

Agree with JP Tractor, but you are also not that far from a couple (Kevin N Renee Love) in Sylacauga, AL, who post on Facebook a lot. They buy & sell cubs & just might have a complete hydraulic assembly available.

Hi,
Below is info about date codes.
Cubs have date codes cast on the larger castings of the tractor.
The codes tell the date the parts were made.
The year is a letter code.
It isn't hard to look at the castings on a Cub and find the date codes.
Below is info from TM Tractor showing what date codes are.

The page below shows where the date codes are.
You can use a light to help see them.
The code on the clutch housing is usually partly behind the clutch pedal.

There should be an engine serial number on the left side of the engine.
The engine serial number will be close the tractor serial number, but not the same, it may be a few hundred, or a few thousand above the tractor serial number, if it is the original engine, sometimes people replace the engine.
Early 1947 Cubs did have the same tractor and engine serial numbers.
Below is a page from the 1950 Cub owner's manual showing where the engine serial number is.

The number is stamped in the block, you may need to clean the area, and use a light to see it.
